FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

No, our classes are designed for all levels, including complete beginners.

Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. For shoes, choose something with a smooth sole (e.g., dance shoes, sneakers, or flats).

No, you don’t need a partner. We rotate partners during class to help everyone learn and socialize.

Salsa is fast-paced and energetic, with intricate turns and footwork. Bachata is slower, more sensual, and focuses on smooth body movements and close partner connection.

The difference between a 4-week class and a training team lies in their structure, goals, time commitment, and intensity. Both options serve different purposes and cater to different levels of interest and commitment! 

A 4-week class is a short-term, beginner-friendly program designed to introduce students to the basics of salsa and/or bachata in a fun, low-pressure environment. It typically meets once a week, focuses on foundational skills, and is ideal for those exploring dance as a hobby or with limited time. 

In contrast, a training team is a long-term commitment for dancers to achieve a higher level of proficiency, involving detailed training in technique, turns/spins, and partner work. While a 4-week class is perfect for casual learners, a training team caters to those aiming for mastery and performance excellence. 

We offer beginner, intermediate, and advanced classes. If you’re unsure, start with a beginner class, and our instructors can guide you.

Classes typically run for 1 hour and 15 minutes, but some workshops or specialty classes may be longer. 

Most series, training teams and performance rehearsals meet once a week.

We only offer the $30 drop-ins for the introductory series on Sundays or Wednesdays.

To ensure the highest quality learning experience for everyone, our 4-week progression classes do not include makeup sessions.  Each class builds directly on the material from the previous week. Joining a different session partway through would be disruptive to your learning and that of the other students who have been progressing together as a group.  If you must miss a class, we encourage you to practice with our online recap videos and utilize a few minutes of open studio time before or after your next session. 

Prices vary depending on the type of class or package. Introductory Classes are $135 per month, 4-Week Progression Classes are $145 per month, Training Teams are $165 per month, and Performance Teams are $185 per month.

We offer a monthly "pay-as-you-go" membership option for students who attend our on-going certification training team program and/or performance team programs. 

We accept cash, credit/debit cards, and online payments.
